Great actors, badly aged writing
So I wanted to watch a spooky drama for the spooky season and I've had this one in my list for a while. Park Bo Young is one of my absolute favorite actors and she does not dissapoint in this one either. Although you can see my score isn't that high for this one. Overall I think it's a great concept BUT I don't think it has aged very well. The ghost comes on veeerrryy strong and in 2023 it's kinda hard to watch TBH. This is being justified in that she is a desperate ghost and does not think about anything else but they really paint it as fun and innocent... On the other hand the character Na Bong Seon is the polar opposite, really shy and has no self confidence whatsoever which just makes both the characters very annoying at a start. However they do become better and even likeable as the story progresses. It's very impressive playing two characters and a chracter playing another character etc. It goes meta and Bo Young really does a stellar job. I think what makes me not like this drama so much is the writing which hasn't aged well. Watching it with comments on on Viki really got me through it at times but the last couple of episodes were really enjoyable. Would I watch it again? No, I even thought of dropping it at times ngl but the actors and the stunning corgi kept me in it. Characters that pulled through was the Shaman character, the mom and the restaurant gang. The leads were a lot at times. So actors did an amazing job, concept great, writing not aged good. Those are my thoughts. Feeling warm about the drama now as I just finished it but I also remember the journey... Of to watch Daily dose of Sunshine now. ☀
